| Obasanjo and Jonathan |
Barely three days after former President, Olusegun Obasanjo made a surprise appearance at his foster daughter’s wedding, Inebharapu, at the National Christian Centre, Abuja’s wedding, President Goodluck Jonathan will on Monday (today), visit former President, Olusegun Obasanjo in his Abeokuta, Ogun State residence.
Obasanjo and Jonathan have been at loggerheads lately, especially since the public presentation of his book, My Watch, lashed out at the government of the president.
The former President had last Monday said Nigeria was facing economic problems due to the failure of the present administration to plan for a rainy day.
Punch reports that Jonathan would use the opportunity of his visit to Abeokuta for his campaign rally to visit Obasanjo who had withdrawn from active participation in the activities of the Peoples Democratic Party.
It is however not certain whether the meeting would hold before the rally or after.
“I don’t have the details, but I can inform you authoritatively that the two of them are scheduled to meet tomorrow,” he said.
Jonathan may use the opportunity of the meeting to appeal to Obasanjo to have a rethink on his position over his re-election in February.
